Contrastive Consistency and Attentive Complementarity for Deep Multi-View Subspace Clustering

Deep multi-view subspace clustering (DMVSC) based on self-expression has attracted increasing attention dueto its outstanding performance and nonlinear application. However, most existing methods neglect that viewprivatemeaningless information or noise may interfere with the learning of self-expression, which may lead to thedegeneration of clustering performance. In this paper, we propose a novel framework of Contrastive Consistencyand Attentive Complementarity (CCAC) for DMVsSC. CCAC aligns all the self-expressions of multiple viewsand fuses them based on their discrimination, so that it can effectively explore consistent and complementaryinformation for achieving precise clustering. Specifically, the view-specific self-expression is learned by a selfexpressionlayer embedded into the auto-encoder network for each view. To guarantee consistency across views andreduce the effect of view-private information or noise, we align all the view-specific self-expressions by contrastivelearning. The aligned self-expressions are assigned adaptive weights by channel attention mechanism according totheir discrimination. Then they are fused by convolution kernel to obtain consensus self-expression withmaximumcomplementarity ofmultiple views. Extensive experimental results on four benchmark datasets and one large-scaledataset of the CCAC method outperformother state-of-the-artmethods, demonstrating its clustering effectiveness.

The Social Surveillance and Generational Compliance in New Mediation

This article explores the social transformation on account of surveillance conception preoccupied through the technology diffusion thanks to the Web 2.0 novel features.The new mediation abstracts the social provisions into radical customs of surveillance.It primes the supposition of socialization hitherto to transpire the scrutiny of the mutual rehearses of vertical and horizontal surveillance.Hence,the ultimate conversion keeps on through self-exposition notion in views of social interaction which so far posit the question of the privacy and public boundary owing to the hypothetical undue freedom of self-expression through Web 2.0.Thus,this paper examines the Surveillance Society in a comprehensive scope of the social structure vis-à-vis the ideas of generational submission towards social transformation.Using the dichotomy of digital revolutions,the Digital“Natives”are classified as typically addicted digital consumptions bearing the community outlooks,while Digital“Immigrants”persist in semi obedience along with the traditional adherence.Ultimately,the Panopticon conceptualizes the certainty of social surveillance by dint of proliferation of information flows keen on social conducts automated in both online and offline paths through technological appliances.

Voice More and Be Happier: How Employee Voice Influences Psychological Well-Being in the Workplace

The recently recognized core construct of employee voice has been demonstrated to be related to various out-comes.However,to date,the impact of employee voice over time and on important employee well-being has been rarely tested.In the present research,we studied in particular how employee voice behavior is related to psycho-logical well-being.Employing the theory of self-determination,we developed three hypotheses pertinent to this relationship,including the mediating role of authentic self-expression and the moderating role of collectivist orientation.We tested our hypotheses using data from 217 employees in China' Mainland over two time periods.As we hypothesized,we found positive relationships between the employee voice and psychological well-being.Our results also verified that these relationships are fully mediated by authentic self-expression and partially moderated by collectivist orientation.

Self-concept and Marketing Strategies

This contribution of this paper is devoted to the research results in the field of self-expression and self-image of the individual in the world of information processing and cognition. Marketing strategies help make decisions that will help us to bring the subject to market activities. The current trend is a knowledge-based society, skills, abilities, information, storage, and transmission. Our marketing strategy focuses on four key issues： production, respectively service, price, distribution channels, and advertising. It is important to know how to develop an individual＇s current self-image. Implementation strategies are then engaged in transforming decisions into concrete action, meaning, and the decision has to be taken with regard to flexibility and acceptance. The sample consists of 4,420 respondents, men and women in three age groups： 0-15 years, 16-40 years, and 41-60 years. All responded to one question, ＂Where is your center？＂ Respondents had to show on their body. The question was chosen very sensitive, not to predict the answer. Terms soul, psyche, personality would be very manipulative, and therefore were excluded. In line with expectations, the majority of respondents have shown to their head, chest, and abdomen, but were also unconventional answers, in accordance with the preferred self-image and values of the individual. Lessons from research outputs were analyzed by the following processes： general description, item-total correlation, exploratory factor analysis of individual areas, and correlation analysis of individual items. It was found that medium correlations between area of body abdomen and age to 15 years were significant. Mean item-total correlation for areas of body were： Head was 0.35 and chest 0.43, and abdomen 0.22. In the descriptive statistics it was found that most respondents preferred the chest, followed by the head and abdomen. As for the distribution of respondents into three age groups, we found differences between men and women. Next, it was analyzed the relationship between the areas of the body and gender. Statistically significant differences were found on the chest, where women scored more than men, and it was also found significant differences in the abdominal area, where men scored more than women.

Digital Devices and Self-Expression among Teenagers in Osogbo, South-Western Nigeria

Digital devices have reshaped human communication in today's technology driven society. These devices, as a medium of identity and self-expression, now determine personal, domestic, and corporate interactions by providing access to digital and online facilities enabled by an influx of computer and portable mobile devices into the Nigerian market. The effect of this digitalization on self-expression cuts across contexts and age categories. This study, driven by new media theory and the theory of transitivity in systemic functional linguistics, examined the influence of digital devices on identity and self-expression among undergraduate teenagers in Osogbo, Osun State. Carefully selected through stratified and convenience sampling techniques, undergraduate teenagers involved in the survey—which employed a questionnaire—and focus group discussions, revealed that their preference for interactive chats, social media picture galleries, captions on photographs, and video subtitles outweighed their propensity to read long or academic texts and partake in online economic activities. Most of our respondents explored online communication through their mobile devices, while others accessed the internet on personal computers at home with little or no parental guidance or supervision. Subsequently, age falsification, wrong or misleading self-identification, and a consequent cultural literacy were common among undergraduate teenagers online. A selfregulation facility was then recommended alongside parental and caregiver monitoring of teenagers' virtual communication to reduce the influence of social media on teenagers' time management and self-identity. Further research is also recommended in the field of ICT to detect age falsification and other forms of online false-identity among minors.

PMSSC:Parallelizable multi-subset based self-expressive model for subspace clustering

Subspace clustering methods which embrace a self-expressive model that represents each data point as a linear combination of other data points in the dataset provide powerful unsupervised learning techniques.However,when dealing with large datasets,representation of each data point by referring to all data points via a dictionary suffers from high computational complexity.To alleviate this issue,we introduce a parallelizable multi-subset based self-expressive model(PMS)which represents each data point by combining multiple subsets,with each consisting of only a small proportion of the samples.The adoption of PMS in subspace clustering(PMSSC)leads to computational advantages because the optimization problems decomposed over each subset are small,and can be solved efficiently in parallel.Furthermore,PMSSC is able to combine multiple self-expressive coefficient vectors obtained from subsets,which contributes to an improvement in self-expressiveness.Extensive experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets show the efficiency and effectiveness of our approach in comparison to other methods.

Writing Poetry that Focuses on the Autobiographical

Poetry has other possibilities than the autobiographical. This essay presents an argument against an over-reliance on a Western bourgeois capitalist concept of the self and self-expression in contemporary American poetry. An alternative balance is presented through Zen Buddhist and Daoist perspectives on the self, particularly as seen in the writing of Dogen, ancient Chinese poetry, and, more recently, David Hinton.
